Abstrakt: Objectives: Patient characteristics with postoperative acute necrotizing pancreatitis and completion pancreatectomy (CP) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remain unclear.
Methods: Data from all patients who underwent a PD with need for CP (January 2011-December 2019) at a German University Hospital were analyzed regarding the indications and timing of CP, laboratory and histopathological findings, and overall outcome.
Results: Six hundred twelve patients underwent PD, 33 (5.4%) of them needed a CP. Indications were grade C pancreatic fistula with or without biliary leak (46% and 12%), biliary leak (6%), and hemorrhage due to pancreatic fistula (36%). Eight patients (24%) underwent CP within 3 days after PD. These fulminant courses ("pancreatic apoplexy") were accompanied by significantly higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, serum amylase, serum lipase, drain amylase, and drain lipase compared with patients with CP after the third day. Pancreatic apoplexy was histologically associated with higher rates of pancreatic necrosis (P = 0.044) and hemorrhage (P = 0.001). A trend toward higher mortality was observed (75% vs 36%, P = 0.058).
Conclusions: Pancreatic apoplexy, defined as fulminant necrotizing pancreatitis after PD leading to CP within 3 days, is associated with characteristic laboratory and histopathological findings and a trend to higher mortality.
